From the Embers

Product Information

The epilogue is to die for, though. I read it three times. All in all, From the Embers is an emotional and impressive story. now if you guys have never read an ALY MARTINEZ romance before well, first, wth are you doing with your life, but also, you need to know that they ALWAYS have a big "plot twist." always. sometimes they work. see RECLAIM. sometimes they don't. this book is the latter. What a unique premise, and the plot unfolds in such an addictive way that I couldn’t read it fast enough. The story effectively conveys the anguish that Eason and Bree experience as the only survivors of a horrific fire in which they each lost their spouse. Although they have known each other for ages, they have never gotten along. It makes the story all the more interesting because they become two single parents who are forced to rely on each other to cope with life in the wake of the tragedy. Nunca se permitiu conhecer o verdadeiro Eason, até que a tragédia a força a conhecer quem ele realmente é. It's blind leading blind kinda story from then on. They're both devastated, heartbroken, terrified of the future, sad and angry,. Only no one is left to take their anger out at, so it smoulders like Embers in the ash.

From there, it’s a heartbreaking journey for both Eason and Bree. I loved Eason! He’s a single dad who is doing everything to give his daughter a happy life. He works day and night, hustles, and cares for not just Luna, but for Bree’s kids, too. The way the author set up Bree at the beginning of the book, I wasn’t sure I’d ever like her, let alone think she was good enough for Eason. It turns out, Bree is smart, kind, funny, and vulnerable. I doubted the author could pull off the romance on this one. Spouses dying in a massive fire? They were all best friends? That’s a tough one. She absolutely pulled this off. There’s a slow burn and great plot twists. From The Embers - Stories from the Australian Bushfire Crisis In 2020, the first series of From the Embers premiered, focusing on communities across Australia who had faced fire and smoke and homes destroyed in what was one of the most difficult summers has ever seen, the 2019-20 bushfire season.

Their spouses were disgusting pieces of shit, but her ex husband was an better actor, they had an good marriage (he was cheating but he faked it well) while the hero was struggling and divorce was almost being discussed, they were no longer having sex and he was sleeping on the couch.

When It Falls Apart by Catherine Bybee: Review, excerpt, interview with the author, and a giveaway! I have to add that I hated that bitch Jessica right from the beginning, so self-centered and selfish. I was relieved that I didn’t have to endure her stupidity for more than 4 chapters. Now at the beginning, we are supposed to like Eason because he is presented as this great guy. Especially as Jessica is treating him awfully so we root for him. However, Bree wasn't likable at all. And for me, she stayed that way until the end of the book. I just couldn't transition my feeling as the story progressed..I couldn't care for her. Same with their romance. Sure, I dislike the dead ex trope, duh.. but I am not sold on their love. It is all so very convenient!!! Bree is a bit of a spitfire who likes things to be done a certain way, she has rules and expectations. Eason loves to flout the rules and get under her skin, he brings the fun into the house, pushing as many boundaries as he can get away with. And over the next year and oh so slowly they begin to develop feelings for each other. It’s a slow burn that takes seed, initially out of grief and friendship but developing into so much more.The two of us could sit outside for hours, talking about nothing, and it filled the massive hole in my chest with new life.

Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys cheap wine, mystery leggings, and baked feta. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person. A horrible accident ruins their lives and from its ruination emerges the true personalities of each & every character present. I forgot why I loved Aly Martinez' writing so much, and I'm glad for the reminder. I'm off to play catch up with her other books that I've missed out on.
